  6. Chapter 1 Basic Concepts • Overview: System Life Cycle • Algorithm Specification • Data Abstraction • Performance Analysis • Performance Measurement

  7. Algorithm Specification • Definition • An algorithm is a finite set of instructions that, if followed, accomplishes a particular task. In addition, all algorithms must satisfy the following criteria: (1)Input. There are zero or more quantities that are externally supplied. (2)Output. At least one quantity is produced. (3)Definiteness. Each instruction is clear and unambiguous. (4)Finiteness. If we trace out the instructions of an algorithm, then for all cases, the algorithm terminates after a finite number of steps. (5)Effectiveness. Every instruction must be basic enough to be carried out, in principle, by a person using only pencil and paper. It is not enough that each operation be definite as in (3); it also must be feasible.

  8. Describing Algorithms • Natural language • English, Chinese • Instructions must be definite and effectiveness • Graphic representation • Flowchart • work well only if the algorithm is small and simple • Pseudo language • Readable • Instructions must be definite and effectiveness • Combining English and C++ • In this text

  9. Translating a Problem into an Algorithm • Problem • Devise a program that sorts a set of n>= 1 integers • Step I - Concept • From those integers that are currently unsorted, find the smallest and place it next in the sorted list • Step II - Algorithm • for (i= 0; i< n; i++){ Examine list[i] to list[n-1] and suppose that the smallest integer is list[min]; Interchange list[i] and list[min]; }

  10. Translating a Problem into an Algorithm(Cont.) • Step III - Coding void sort(int *a, int n) { for (i= 0; i< n; i++) { int j= i; for (int k= i+1; k< n; k++){ if (a[k ]< a[ j]) j= k; int temp=a[i]; a[i]=a[ j]; a[ j]=temp; } }

  11. Correctness Proof • Theorem • Function sort(a, n) correctly sorts a set of n>= 1 integers. The result remains in a[0], ..., a[n-1] such that a[0]<= a[1]<=...<=a[n-1]. • Proof: For i= q, following the execution of line 6-11, we have a[q]<= a[r], q< r< =n-1. For i> q, observing, a[0], ..., a[q] are unchanged. Hence, increasing i, for i= n-2, we have a[0]<= a[1]<= ...<=a[n-1]

  12. Recursive Algorithms • Direct recursion • Functions call themselves • Indirect recursion • Functions call other functions that invoke the calling function again • When is recursion an appropriate mechanism? • The problem itself is defined recursively • Statements: if-else and while can be written recursively • Art of programming • Why recursive algorithms ? • Powerful, express an complex process very clearly

  13. Recursive Implementation of Binary Search int binsearch(int list[], int searchnum, int left, int right) {// search list[0]<= list[1]<=...<=list[n-1] for searchnum int middle; while (left<= right){ middle= (left+ right)/2; switch(compare(list[middle], searchnum)){ case -1: left= middle+ 1; break; case 0: return middle; case 1: right= middle- 1; break; } } return -1;} int compare(int x, int y) { if (x< y) return -1; else if (x== y) return 0; else return 1; }

  14. int binsearch(int list[], int searchnum, int left, int right) {// search list[0]<= list[1]<=...<=list[n-1] for searchnum int middle; while (left<= right){ middle= (left+ right)/2; switch(compare(list[middle], searchnum)){ case -1:return binsearch(list, searchnum, middle+1, right); case 0: return middle; case 1: return binsearch(list, searchnum, left, middle- 1); } } return -1; } Recursive Implementation of Binary Search

  15. Chapter 1 Basic Concepts • Overview: System Life Cycle • Algorithm Specification • Data Abstraction • Performance Analysis • Performance Measurement

  16. Data Abstraction • Types of data • All programming language provide at least minimal set of predefined data type, plus user defined types • Data types of C • Char, int, float, and double • may be modified by short, long, and unsigned • Array, struct, and pointer

  17. Data Type • Definition • A data type is a collection of objects and a set of operations that act on those objects • Example of "int" • Objects: 0, +1, -1, ..., Int_Max, Int_Min • Operations: arithmetic(+, -, *, /, and %), testing(equality/inequality), assigns, functions • Define operations • Its name, possible arguments and results must be specified • The design strategy for representation of objects • Transparent to the user

  18. Abstract Data Type • Definition • An abstract data type(ADT) is a data type that is organized in such a way that the specification of the objects and the specification of the operations on the objects is separated from the representation of the objects and the implementation of the operation.# • Why abstract data type ? • implementation-independent

  19. Classifying the Functions of a Data Type • Creator/constructor: • Create a new instance of the designated type • Transformers • Also create an instance of the designated type by using one or more other instances • Observers/reporters • Provide information about an instance of the type, but they do not change the instance • Notes • An ADT definition will include at least one function from each of these three categories

  20. An Example of the ADT structure Natural_Number is objects: an ordered subrange of the integers starting at zero and ' ending at the maximum integer (INT_MAX) on the computer functions: for all x, y is Nat_Number, TRUE, FALSE is Boolean and where . +, -, <, and == are the usual integer operations Nat_NoZero() ::= 0 Boolean Is_Zero(x) ::= if (x) return FALSE Nat_No Add(x, y) ::= if ((x+y)<= INT_MAX) return x+ y else return INT_MAX Boolean Equal(x, y) ::= if (x== y) return TRUE else return FALSE Nat_No Successor(x) ::= if (x== INT_MAX) return x else return x+ 1 Nat_No Subtract(x, y) ::= if (x< y) return 0 else return x-y end Natural_Number

  21. Chapter 1 Basic Concepts • Overview: System Life Cycle • Algorithm Specification • Data Abstraction • Performance Analysis • Performance Measurement

  22. Performance Analysis • Performance evaluation • Performance analysis • Performance measurement • Performance analysis - prior • an important branch of CS, complexity theory • estimate time and space • machine independent • Performance measurement -posterior • The actual time and space requirements • machine dependent

  23. Performance Analysis(Cont.) • Space and time • Does the program efficiently use primary and secondary storage? • Is the program's running time acceptable for the task? • Evaluate a program generally • Does the program meet the original specifications of the task? • Does it workcorrectly? • Does the program contain documentation that show how to use it and how it works? • Does the program effectively use functions to create logical units? • Is the program's code readable?

  24. Performance Analysis(Cont.) • Evaluate a program • MWGWRERE Meet specifications, Work correctly, Good user-interface, Well-documentation, Readable, Effectively use functions, Running time acceptable, Efficiently use space • How to achieve them? • Good programming style, experience, and practice • Discuss and think

  25. Space Complexity • Definition • The space complexity of a program is the amount of memory that it needs to run to completion • The space needed is the sum of • Fixed space and Variable space • Fixed space • Includes the instructions, variables, and constants • Independent of the number and size of I/O • Variable space • Includes dynamic allocation, functions' recursion • Total space of any program • S(P)= c+ Sp(Instance)

  26. float abc(float a, float b, float c) { return a+b+b*c+(a+b-c)/(a+b)+4.00; } Sabc(I)= 0 float rsum(float list[], int n) { if (n) return rsum(list, n-1)+ list[n-1]; return 0; } Srsum (n)= 4*n float sum(float list[], int n) { float fTmpSum= 0; int i; for (i= 0; i< n; i++) fTmpSum+= list[i]; return fTmpSum; } Ssum(I)= Ssum (n)= 0 parameter:float(list[]) 1 parameter:integer(n) 1 return address 1 return value 1 Examples of Evaluating Space Complexity

  27. Time Complexity • Definition • The time complexity, T(p), taken by a program P is the sum of the compile time and the run time • Total time • T(P)= compile time + run (or execution) time = c + tp(instance characteristics) Compile time does not depend on the instance characteristics • How to evaluate? • Use the system clock • Number of steps performed • machine-independent • Definition of a program step • A program step is a syntactically or semantically meaningful program segment whose execution time is independent of the instance characteristics (10 additions can be one step, 100 multiplications can also be one step) (p33~p35 有計算C++ 語法之 steps 之概述, 原則是一個表示式一步)

  28. Examples of Determining Steps • the first method: count by a program • float sum(float list[], int n) • { • float tempsum= 0; count++; /* for assignment */ • int i; • for(i= 0; i< n; i++) { • count++; /* for the for loop */ • tempsum+= list[i]; count++; /* for assignment */ • } • count++; /* last execution of for */ • count++; /* for return */ • return tempsum; • } float sum(float list[], int n) { float tempsum= 0 int i; for (i=0; i< n; i++) count+= 2; count+= 3; return 0; } 2n+ 3

  29. 2n+ 2 2rows*cols+ 2rows+ 1 Examples of Determining Steps(Cont.) trsum(0) = 2 trsum(n) = 2 + trsum(n-1) = 2 + 2 + trsum(n-2) = 2*2 + trsum(n-2) = … = 2n + trsum(0)= 2n+2 float rsum(float list[], int n) { count ++; /* for if condition */ if (n) { count++; /* for return and rsum invocation */ return rsum(list, n-1)+ list[n-1]; } count++; //return return list[0]; } void add(int a[][MaxSize], int b[][MaxSize], int c[][MaxSize], int rows, int cols) { int i, j; for (i=0; i< rows; i++) for (j=0; j< cols; j++) c[i][j]= a[i][j] + b[i][j]; } p.39, program 1.19 自行計算

  30. Examples of Determining Steps(Cont.) • The second method: build a table to count s/e: steps per execution frequency: total numbers of times each statements is executed Statement s/e Frequency Total Steps void add(int a[][MaxSize], . . . 0 0 0 { 0 0 0 int i, j; 0 0 0 for (i=0; i< rows; i++) 1 rows+ 1 rows+ 1 for (j=0; j< cols; j++) 1 rows*(cols+1) rows*cols+ rows c[i][j]= a[i][j] + b[i][j]; 1 rows*cols rows*cols } 0 0 0 Total 2rows*cols+2rows+1

  31. Remarks of Time Complexity • Difficulty: the time complexity is not dependent solely on the number of inputs or outputs • To determine the step count • Best case, Worst case, andAverage • Example int binsearch(int list[], int searchnum, int left, int right) {// search list[0]<= list[1]<=...<=list[n-1] for searchnum int middle; while (left<= right){ middle= (left+ right)/2; switch(compare(list[middle], searchnum)){ case -1: left= middle+ 1; break; case 0: return middle; case 1: right= middle- 1; } } return -1;}

  32. Asymptotic Notation(O, , ) • motivation • Target: Compare the time complexity of two programs that computing the same function and predict the growth in run time as instance characteristics change • Determining the exact step count is difficult task • Not very useful for comparative purpose ex: C1n2+C2n <= C3n for n <= 98, (C1=1, C2=2, C3=100) C1n2+C2n > C3n for n > 98, • Determining the exact step count usually not worth(can not get exact run time) • Asymptotic notation • Big "oh“ O • upper bound(current trend) • Omega  • lower bound • Theta  • upper and lower bound

  33. Asymptotic Notation O • Definition of Big "oh" • f(n)= O(g((n)) iff there exist positive constants c and n0 such that f(n)<= cg(n) for all n, n>= n0 • Examples • 3n+ 2= O(n) as 3n+ 2<= 4n for all n>= 2 • 10n2+ 4n+ 2= O(n2) as 10n2+ 4n+ 2<= 11n2 for n>= 5 • 3n+2<> O(1), 10n2+ 4n+ 2<> O(n) • Remarks • g(n) is the least upper bound • n=O(n2)=O(n2.5)= O(n3)= O(2n) • O(1): constant, O(n): linear, O(n2): quadratic, O(n3): cubic, and O(2n): exponential

  34. Asymptotic Notation O (Cont.) • Remarks on "=" • O(g(n))= f(n) is meaningless • "=" as "is" and not as "equals" • Theorem • If f(n)= amnm+...+ a1n+ a0, then f(n)= O(nm) • Proof:

  35. Asymptotic Notation  • Definition • f(n)= (g(n)) iff there exist positive constants c and n0such that f(n)>= cg(n) for all n, n>= n0 • Examples • 3n+ 2= (n) as 3n+ 2>= 3n for n>= 1 • 10n2+ 4n+ 2= (n2) as 10n2+4n+ 2>= n2 for n>= 1 • 6*2n+ n2= (2n) as 6*2n+ n2 >= 2n for n>= 1 • Remarks • The largest lower bound • 3n+3= (1), 10n2+4n+2= (n); 6*2n+ n2= (n100) • Theorem • If f(n)= amnm+ ...+ a1n+ a0 and am> 0, then f(n)= (nm)

  36. Asymptotic Notation  • Definition • f(n)= (g(n)) iff there exist positive constants c1, c2, and n0 such that c1g(n)<= f(n) <= c2g(n) for all n, n>= n0 • Examples • 3n+2=(n) as 3n+2>=3n for n>1 and 3n+2<=4n for all n>= 2 • 10n2+ 4n+ 2=  (n2); 6*2n+n2= (2n) • Remarks • Both an upper and lower bound • 3n+2<>(1); 10n2+4n+ 2<> (n) • Theorem • If f(n)= amnm+ ... +a1n+ a0 and am> 0, then f(n)= (nm)

  37. Example of Time Complexity Analysis Statement Asymptotic complexity void add(int a[][Max.......) 0 { 0 int i, j; 0 for(i= 0; i< rows; i++) (rows) for(j=0; j< cols; j++) (rows*cols) c[i][j]= a[i][j]+ b[i][j]; (rows*cols) } 0 Total (rows*cols)

  38. Example of Time Complexity Analysis(Cont.) • The more global approach to count steps: focus the variation of instance characterics. int binsearch(int list[], int .....) { int middle; while (left<= right){ middle= (left+ right)/2; switch(compare(list[middle], searchnum)){ case -1: left= middle+ 1; break; case 0: return middle; case 1: right= middle- 1; } } return -1; } worst case (log n)

  39. k= n-1, (n) k< n-1, else for loop, n-k times each call Tperm(k+1, n-1) hence, (Tperm (k+1, n-1)) so, Tperm (k, n-1)= ((n-k)(Tperm (k+1, n-1))) Using the substitution, we have Tperm (0, n-1)= (n(n!)), n>= 1 Example of Time Complexity Analysis(Cont.) void perm(char *a, int k, int n) {//generate all the 排列 of // a[k],…a[n-1] char temp; if (k == n-1){ for(int i= 0; i<=n; i++) cout << a[i]<<“ ”; cout << endl; } else { for(i= k; i< n; i++){ temp=a[k];a[k]=a[i];a[i]=temp; perm(a, k+1, n); temp=a[k];a[k]=a[i];a[i]=temp; } } }

  40. Example of Time Complexity Analysis(Cont.) • Magic square • An n-by-n matrix of the integers from 1 to n2 such that the sum of each row and column and the two major diagonals is the same • Example, n= 5(n must be odd) 15 8 1 24 17 16 14 7 5 23 22 20 13 6 4 3 21 19 12 10 9 2 25 18 11

  41. Magic Square (Cont.) • Coxeter has given the simple rule • Put a one in the middle box of the top row. Go up and left assigning numbers in increasing order to empty boxes. If your move causes you to jump off the square, figure out where you would be if you landed on a box on the opposite side of the square. Continue with this box. If a box is occupied, go down instead of up and continue.

  42. Magic Square (Cont.) procedureMAGIC(square, n) // for n odd create a magic square which is declared as an array // square(0: n-1, 0: n-1) // (i, j) is a square position. 2<= key <= n2 is integer valued if n is even the [print("input error"); stop] SQUARE<- 0 square(0, (n-1)/2)<- 1; // store 1 in middle of first row key<- 2; i<- 0; j<- (n-1)/2 // i, j are current position while key <= n2do (k, l)<- ((i-1) mod n, (j-1)mod n) // look up and left if square(k, l) <> 0 then i<- (i+1) mod n // square occupied, move down else (i, j)<- (k, l) // square (k, l) needs to be assigned square(i, j)<- key // assign it a value key<- key + 1 end print(n, square) // out result endMAGIC

  43. Practical Complexities • Time complexity • Generally some function of the instance characteristics • Remarks on "n" • If Tp=(n), Tq= (n2), then we say P is faster than Q for "sufficiently large" n. • since Tp<= cn, n>= n1, and Tq<= dn2, n>= n2, but cn<= dn2 for n>= c/d so P is faster than Q whenever n>= max{n1, n2, d/c} • See Table 1.7 and Figure 1.3 • For reasonable large n, n> 100, only program of small complexity, n, nlog n, n2, n3 are feasible • See Table 1.8
